Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cauliflower rice
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 4 sheets Nori sheets
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 medium Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Tobiko (flying fish roe)
- 4 ounces Smoked salmon
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Start by preparing the cauliflower rice. If using fresh cauliflower, pulse florets in a food processor until rice-sized granules form. If using pre-riced cauliflower, ensure it is thawed and excess liquid is squeezed out.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until tender and slightly dry to remove excess moisture.
Transfer the cooked cauliflower rice to a mixing bowl. Stir in the cream cheese and rice vinegar while the rice is still warm. Mix well until combined and set aside to cool completely.
Prepare your fillings: Julianne the cucumber (into thin strips), slice the avocado, and cut the smoked salmon into thin strips. Set these aside for assembly.
Lay a sheet of nori shiny-side down on a sushi mat or flat surface. Spread a thin, even layer of the cooled cauliflower rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
Arrange cucumber, avocado, smoked salmon, and a small amount of tobiko (about 1/2 tablespoon) horizontally along the bottom edge of the rice-covered nori sheet.
Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the nori over the fillings, pressing gently but firmly to create a tight roll. Seal the edge by moistening the 1-inch border with a little water and pressing it to adhere.
Repeat steps for the remaining nori sheets and fillings.
Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean slices.
To serve, garnish the sushi pieces with additional tobiko and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve with soy sauce (or tamari), wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
